It is really nice to see the IREX developers following the discussion in this forum, this new firmware release further justifies my choice of DR800SG over the Sony 900 and Kindle DX. Any way, I would like to share my feedback:
1. Indexing went OK, although I would prefer disabling the thumbnail generation by default.
2. Zoom: a lot of discussions already. I know margin cropping might be hard for V2, but at least address these issues:
2.1 "Fit width" by default when switching to landscape view.
2.2 In "pan" mode, enable the "continuous" view like the DR1000S does.
2.3 Fix the disconnecting content problem in "pan" mode using the flip bar.
3. Image based (scanned) PDFs take much longer when turning pages. I have never seen this message box with "wait" in the V1 firmware, now it is quite common.
4. Battery/power consumption. I noticed the battery consumption rate is faster with V2 than V1, both when the device is on and in standby mode. It is understandable when the device is on, maybe I am doing all sorts of testing (image based PDFs, zooming, panning, scribbling), but standby battery consumption regression is well worth noticing. Hopefully other people can chime in.
5. The "continue reading" and document zoom level is lost after rebooting.
